Abstract

A safety projection for a light boat, is integral with its hull and is manufactured by moulding of a plastic material. A nautical safety projection for a light boat is characterized by the projection being of a specified volume, rigid, and located above the bridge of the hull and integral with the hull. The projection is made with a plastic material obtained by rotation moulding or thermoforming.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif qui a pour but d'empêcher, en cas de chavirement, le retournement complet de la coque d'une embarcation légère.The present invention relates to a device which aims to prevent, in the event of a capsize, the complete overturning of the hull of a boat slight.

Quand une coque est complètement retournée, une effet de ventouse se produit et colle la coque à l'eau. Cela rend très difficile, sa remise à l'endroit, surtout si elle n'a pas de quille.When a shell is completely inverted, a suction cup effect occurs produces and sticks the hull with water. This makes it very difficult to put it back on the spot, especially if it has no keel.

Pour éviter ce risque on créé, sur le pont supérieur de la coque, une saillie sécuritaire nautique, c'est-à-dire un volume rigide ou souple, fixé ou intégré au pont, formant une excroissance du pont, pérenne ou momentanée. Cette saillie, de par son volume et son emplacement empêchera la coque retournée de coller à l'eau et par là facilitera son retournement à l'endroit, et ce, dans le but d'accroítre la sécurité des utilisateurs qui pourront ainsi revenir à bord de l'embarcation plus aisément.To avoid this risk we created, on the upper deck of the hull, a nautical safety projection, i.e. a rigid or flexible volume, fixed or integrated into the bridge, forming a protrusion of the bridge, permanent or momentary. This projection, by its volume and its location will prevent the hull returned from sticking to the water and thereby facilitate its inversion, and this, in order to increase the security of users who will be able to return on board the boat more easily.

Ce volume de la saillie est réalisé, FIG 1-31, soit par une enveloppe rigide constituée par du bois, du métal, de la mousse ou du plastique pour une proéminence permanente :

  • soit par une enveloppe, FIG 2-33, souple constituée par du caoutchouc, du tissu ou un film plastique pour une saillie permanente ou momentanée.
  • soit par une combinaison d'enveloppe rigide et souple, permanente et, ou momentanée, FIG 3-35 et 37.
This volume of the projection is produced, FIG 1-31, either by a rigid envelope constituted by wood, metal, foam or plastic for a permanent prominence:
  • either by an envelope, FIG 2-33, flexible constituted by rubber, fabric or a plastic film for a permanent or momentary projection.
  • either by a combination of rigid and flexible envelope, permanent and, or momentary, FIG 3-35 and 37.

De plus l'enveloppe, constituant le volume, est creuse et étanche, et, comporte au moins un orifice, FIG 1-32, pour être remplie par de l'air, un gaz ou un matériau solide fractionné ou pas, de faible densité comme du liège, de la mousse ou toute matière plastique expansée. Cette enveloppe de la saillie peut également contenir une autre enveloppe souple, telle une chambre à air.In addition, the envelope, constituting the volume, is hollow and airtight, and, has at least one orifice, FIG 1-32, to be filled with air, gas or a solid material, fractionated or not, of low density such as cork, foam or any expanded plastic. This projection envelope can also contain another flexible envelope, such as an inner tube.

Dans le cas d'une coque plastique roto moulée, thermoformée ou autre, la saillie sécuritaire nautique peut être aussi une excroissance du pont supérieur de l'embarcation, FIG 4-39, qui peut être dans sa totalité creuse et étanche : les canoës-kayaks, les barques FIG 5-42, les voiliers, les canots, les annexes et bateaux à moteur de faible dimension peuvent en être l'illustration.In the case of a roto molded, thermoformed or other plastic shell, the nautical safety protrusion can also be an outgrowth of the upper deck of the boat, FIG 4-39, which can be entirely hollow and watertight: the canoes-kayaks, FIG 5-42 boats, sailboats, canoes, tenders and small motor boats can illustrate this.

Par contre si la saillie sécuritaire nautique est rapportée, c'est-à-dire rattachée ou ajoutée, à la partie supérieure du pont de l'embarcation, alors elle sera reliée à ce pont par tous les types de fixation possibles tels que vis, boulons, rivets, cordages, liens divers, soudure, collage, étriers, résilles, filets, etc...On the other hand if the nautical safety projection is reported, that is to say attached or added to the top of the boat deck, then it will be connected to this bridge by all possible types of fixing such as screws, bolts, rivets, ropes, various links, welding, gluing, stirrups, nets, threads, etc ...

Dans le cadre d'une saillie sécuritaire nautique momentanée, c'est-à-dire d'un volume souple qui ne se dilate qu'à un moment choisi, alors qu'en temps normal il est replié de manière à n'occuper qu'un faible espace, il est prévu que l'enveloppe devient proéminente au dessus du pont supérieur de l'embarcation dans les cas suivants :

  • Soit par son immersion dans l'eau, lors d'un chavirage par exemple.
  • Soit par un enclenchement conjugué avec l'entrée en action du coupe-circuit du moteur,
  • soit par le fait de tirer par exemple sur un cordonnet semblable au type de mécanisme déclencheur d'une brassière ou d'un gilet de sauvetage.
As part of a momentary nautical safety protrusion, that is to say a flexible volume which expands only at a chosen moment, whereas in normal times it is folded up so as to occupy only '' a small space, it is expected that the envelope becomes prominent above the upper deck of the boat in the following cases:
  • Or by its immersion in water, during a capsize for example.
  • Either by an engagement combined with the entry into action of the engine circuit breaker,
  • either by pulling, for example, on a cord similar to the type of trigger mechanism of a life jacket or life jacket.

Dans les cas précités une réserve de gaz est alors libérée pour gonfler l'enveloppe qui prend tout son volume instantanément , et, forme ainsi la saillie sécuritaire nautique.In the aforementioned cases a gas reserve is then released to inflate the envelope which takes its full volume instantly, and thus forms the projection nautical safety.

Pour que cette saillie volumique apporte un plus à la sécurité des occupants de l'embarcation, et par là, l'empêche de coller à l'eau en cas de retournement à 180 degrés, il faut que ce volume soit d'abord ponctuel. En effet, si on étalait sur tout le pont supérieur ce volume en une couche plus ou moins épaisse, rien n'empêcherait le bateau de rester sur le dos, donc de « coller ». Au contraire le fait de mettre un volume en hauteur au dessus du pont et en un seul, voire, tout au plus, en 2 endroits, va déséquilibrer son retournement, et, positionner le bateau au moins de manière oblique sur l'eau : il ne pourra plus « coller » ni faire ventouse.
Mais pour obtenir ce résultat il faut aussi que l'importance du volume, outre sa position ponctuelle précitée, soit en rapport avec la masse de l'embarcation.
Or chaque embarcation doit comporter une réserve de flottabilité qui se traduit par un volume défini par des normes spécifiques tenant compte en particulier de la masse du bateau et des occupants. Cette réserve de flottabilité s'impose à toute embarcation et à toute navigation. Il faudra, en conséquence , que la saillie sécuritaire nautique ait un volume proéminent égal ou supérieur au quart du volume de la réserve de flottabilité de l'embarcation concernée.
Enfin après le positionnement horizontal de la saillie sur le pont et la définition de son importance volumique, la distance mesurant la hauteur du centre du volume au dessus du pont devra être égale ou supérieure au cinquième de la hauteur totale de la coque, FIG 6-45, au même endroit pour pouvoir « décoller » la coque de l'eau. Les 3 définitions concernant le positionnement et l'importance de la saillie ci-dessus exposées sont des règles minimales à respecter. Chaque fois qu'il est possible d'aller au delà, la sécurité s'accroít, car l'embarcation sera plus facile à remettre à l'endroit et donc plus apte, pour ses utilisateurs, à permettre leur retour à bord.In order for this volume projection to add more security to the occupants of the boat, and thereby prevent it from sticking to the water in the event of a 180-degree inversion, this volume must first be punctual. Indeed, if we spread this volume over the entire upper deck in a more or less thick layer, nothing would prevent the boat from staying on its back, therefore from "sticking". On the contrary the fact of putting a volume in height above the bridge and in only one, even, at most, in 2 places, will unbalance its overturning, and, position the boat at least obliquely on the water: it will no longer be able to "stick" or make a suction cup.
But to obtain this result, it is also necessary that the size of the volume, in addition to its aforementioned punctual position, is related to the mass of the boat.
However each boat must include a buoyancy reserve which results in a volume defined by specific standards taking into account in particular the mass of the boat and the occupants. This buoyancy reserve applies to all boats and all navigation. It will therefore be necessary that the nautical safety projection has a prominent volume equal to or greater than a quarter of the volume of the buoyancy reserve of the boat concerned.
Finally after the horizontal positioning of the projection on the deck and the definition of its volume importance, the distance measuring the height of the center of the volume above the deck must be equal to or greater than one fifth of the total height of the hull, FIG 6- 45, in the same place to be able to “take off” the hull from the water. The 3 definitions concerning the positioning and the size of the projection above exposed are minimum rules to be respected. Whenever it is possible to go beyond, safety increases, because the boat will be easier to put back in the place and therefore more apt, for its users, to allow their return on board.

Par ailleurs, ce volume saillant pourrait comporter des dangers : tous ses bords et arêtes devront être arrondis pour éviter toute blessure. Furthermore, this salient volume could involve dangers: all of its edges and edges should be rounded to avoid injury.

On peut également prévoir dans cette saillie des enfoncements pour positionner des feux de route, FIG 7-47, un parasol, un taud, FIG 8-49, une canne à pêche, un fusil de chasse, des pagaies, rames, un fanion, divers instruments (speedomètre, rose des vents,...) des inserts pour fixer tout objet, des reliefs pour appréhender des amarres, retenir les coussins du dosseret et du fessier, une capote, des emmarchements pour accéder à la plate forme supérieure du volume qui peut être alors un plongeoir, FIG 9-51, ou le départ d'une glissière, FIG 9-53, (toboggan) des emplacements pour gravure et toute inscription ou illustration.One can also provide in this projection of the indentations to position main beam, FIG 7-47, a parasol, a canopy, FIG 8-49, a fishing rod, a hunting rifle, paddles, oars, a pennant, various instruments (speedometer, wind rose, ...) inserts to fix any object, reliefs to grasp moorings, hold back and backrest cushions, a hood, steps to access the upper platform of the volume which can then be a diving board, FIG 9-51, or the start of a slide, FIG 9-53, (slide) places for engraving and any inscription or drawing.

Enfin dans le cadre d'une navigation en eau peu profonde cette saillie sécuritaire nautique, FIG 7, agit comme un arceau de sécurité à l'instar des voitures décapotables, et évite des traumatismes en touchant le fond dans le cas d'un retournement. De même, si la vitesse de l'embarcation est importante, la saillie peut servir de dosseret et d'appui tête, là aussi pour éviter certains traumatismes.Finally in the context of navigation in shallow water this projection nautical safety, FIG 7, acts as a roll bar like the convertible cars, and avoids trauma by touching the bottom in the case a turnaround. Similarly, if the speed of the boat is important, the projection can serve as a backrest and headrest, here too to avoid trauma.
